Description
The following note should be added to the xorgcfg & xorgconfig man pages:

    The xorgcfg and xorgconfig utilities for generating xorg.conf files
    may no longer be included in an upcoming release.  

    The Xorg(1) server does not require an xorg.conf(4) file in many cases,
    and will autoconfigure itself if one is not present.  If the
    default configuration does not meet your needs, you may use one of
    these alternative methods to generate an xorg.conf file for
    customization:

    - /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure, when the server is not already running
      will provide a sample configuration file for the currently detected
      hardware in the system.

    - When Xorg is started without a configuration file, the xorg.conf
      data it generates automatically is logged in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
      and may be copied to an xorg.conf file for customization.

    - Users of Nvidia graphics devices may use the provided nvidia-settings(1)
      and nvidia-xconfig(1) utilities to generate or update device-specific 
      configurations.

    - Users of Sun graphics devices for the SPARC platform may use the
      fbconfig(1) utility to generate or update device-specific 
      configurations.
